2021生日誌

日,滿滿地盛載了你們的厚待。要寫下這一刻的心情

謝謝!都收到了!
您家種的鳶尾花
四個年來沒有外出用餐的女孩爆胎韓式海鮮燒
跟家人一般的朋友們慶祝
和至愛家人共進最家常的晚餐,卻吃出最真摰的味道

你們一個個送來的生日禮物、午餐、鬱金香、盆栽、飄洋過海而來的花朵與親繪的卡片、所有溫馨的FB祝福和短訊問候,我真有點被賀壽了!

在這一紛紛擾擾的世界,十二個月來的隔離,這一字一句的祝福都顯得格外貴重萬分。大部分的你們都有一年沒有見過面,你們對我這般上心實在很感動。感謝上帝給我每一個的你們。感謝你們滿滿的愛。

Gratitude filled my heart with lots and lots of LOVE!  Thank YOU!

It’s been a tough 12 full months of ‘safer-at-home’, Covid keep us away but love is boundless. 

Thank you for all the birthday blessings and greetings, surprisingly showing up at my door with lots of surprises…  the home-grown Iris, birthday lunch, mail-order tulips, indoor greeneries, beautiful mauve pink bouquet.  Your love flooded my heart!

#願世間都珍惜信望愛能相愛

#對不起 #人老了很早就睡了 #錯過了您準時祝賀 #多謝擴泳文芬芬中需要您第一回之三日放學夠膽來賀壽ChatRoom #難得瘋一回

「疫」情中人

今年生日在家過,二零二零是個不一樣的生日。

武肺迅速蔓延,家在美國天天早上起來看看確疹人數,幾千到二萬,還要到公司上班的日子,心中最怕是自己不小心把病毒帶回家害了年長的父母。每天叮囑他們不要出門買東買西的,要不買報紙,要不買點心,或是徒步走到街口找鄰居老友打牙骹。想也沒有想到我們會活在如此小心翼翼和暴露在病毒的威脅中度日,出一個門又是口罩又是膠手套,一副防禦生化武器套裝,回家以後又洗手又更衣,連鞋底也用消毒噴霧消毒。

疫情來勢洶洶,狠狠地打跨了經濟,國家一個一個宣布封關,公司企業敦促員工在家工作,在前線的醫護人員面對著一個隨時崩潰的醫療體制,亦不知要撐多久和要付出多少犧牲才能重見光明的日子,這一切一切襲來,我們措手不及。我們不期然會問上帝,為什麼?

天災人禍,從來都沒有答案,帶來反醒的人生活重組。可以做的,作為人民的一分子,當然要付上責任。個人防禦、公共衛生、節約資源,能幫助別人時伸出援手,我信上帝,一切都是出於祂美好的計劃,人只顧自己,忽略了自身以外,別人的好處 。人類築起的巨塔有多高,有多崇偉就有多迷失,上帝按了「Reset」按鈕,是一次現代「巴別塔」的提醒,讓人停止與其他商量對策,而是獨個兒沉澱一下,我們已經走得很遠了,再走下去只是沒有歸途的不歸路。不要浪費這個重新定位的機會,把生活中的各種事情重新定下價值。甚麼該多加關注,甚麼該減少消耗,甚麼人要多給予時間,甚麼不必要的應酬該省卻。

自從加州「居家令」以來,大家尋常的生活起了無常的新秩序。天天三餐在家吃,羅省公路罕有地路路暢通。平日我們李家二三事,三不五時會一對一地在Facetime你陪我煮飯,我睇住你食飯,現在更天天定時定候在Zoom齊齊整整開家庭日常會議。最為開心當然是爸爸媽媽可以同一時間見到班仔女,看著我們互動。 沉悶生活中找到樂子。 疫情當然可怕,更可怕的是錯配生命中的價值,該重之輕,該捨之留,回過頭來,悔不當初。當趁耶和華可尋找的時候尋找他,相近的時候求告他。

生日在疫情中過,幸有愛我的家人和數不盡弟兄姊妹和好友,遠又好近又好,都是一個留言,一個短訊,一通電話,一切盡在不言中,謝謝你們的愛!祝願大家身體健康,光復後再聚!

今天,今天,又大一歲

中年,是歲月的累積:
大人,卻是人生的修為。
能夠成為一個寬容,篤定,自信的大人,
走在自己創造的道路上,
便是歲月的祝福。

< 張曼娟 - 我輩中人>

永無足饜

對愛,女人都永無足饜。從小一直到老,女人對愛的胃口只有增無減。

如果我有七十歲命,人生走到今天已走了一半。若要來一個上半場的總結,我的人生是幸福的。因為我得到的愛是多的。感覺自己一點也不像一個已經活得這麼久的人。身邊還有爸媽粗心,哥哥們也老是我心中的靠山。是的,我確是一個很想依賴別人的人。如果可以的話,我只想聽話。其實,說出這樣的話的人,是被愛孕育出來的。因為在有愛的環境下,聽話就變的理所當然。不用懷疑發出指令的會害你,也相信差錯後有人會善後。而且樂觀真是心境不老的良藥。我要繼續擁抱這份禮物。祝福身邊的人。

那我餘下的一半人生要如何渡過?過去的姊妹退修會,雖然都忙著東奔西跑的,可是我真的感覺到聖靈的工作。心中的攪動,是不可推諉的證據。求主讓我學習成為一個蒙恩的女子:

多思想、少說話
多讚美、少埋怨
多順服、少控制
多背負、少苦毒

「女為悅己者用」,如果能得到人的愛女人已經幸福得不得了。那麼上帝無窮無盡的愛,就正正是女人對愛不絕的源頭。

在三十五歲生晨的今天,願愛我的主幫助我成為一個蒙恩的女子。無限量供應我衪的愛,滿足我對愛永無足饜的胃口,我也樂意無限量向身邊的人輸送溫暖的關懷。

三月快樂


每年的三月都會特別感受到家人和朋友對我的關愛,好像是一個嬌縱的小女孩,很不客氣的一一收下你們的祝福和寵愛。我相信沒有一個人會不享受如此的愛。看著別人為自己花過心思,真的很感動。一頓便飯或是一頓高級西餐館的料理、一束自家種的花朵或是一束很漂亮的絲帶花、每一份禮物都帶有心思,因為我知道也感受到人家在那個是刻用了心神為自己張羅。你們對我那麼好,我可能不可以再過安靜的生晨了。

今天,踏入三十幾,生命就在一個漸漸定位的階段。很感恩的發現,這幾年來在身邊為自己慶生的朋友們都沒有太大的改變。屈指一算,除了家人以外,有些摯友們已與我共度了人生最青春、放浪的十年生日天。更感恩的是身邊也不乏新朋友,上一年在小組休息期間,與一些組員建立了一種非事奉上的關係。這兩年多了他們的參與,慶生的活動就更加熱鬧了。他們的熱情和動力,真的讓我恢復不少活力氣息。

今早,走進洗手間,媽媽在梳頭,而我就準備刷牙,睡眼惺忪的我把劑有牙膏的牙刷放在桌上而把那支牙膏放進口裡,在旁的媽媽笑到不行。我的生晨就在這懵懵董董一片笑聲中開始。

神呀!真的謝謝袮。雖然我不是一個很懂得常常感恩的人,但我真的不可不感恩,因為袮把我包圍在袮派來的天使中間。袮讓我成為三月的幸運兒。

小組慶生

這兩年多了一群可愛的組員為我慶生,若真不是神的奇妙的牽引,我相信我應該沒有機會享受他們對我的愛。多少次與人分享這個小組的特徵,大概都是轉數快、口齒伶俐、個性特別、不易被欺負、不平易近人的一類…等等。縱然如此,彼此之間卻有一個調和的化學作用,雖然大家也蠻多菱角,卻從沒有鬧翻過,溝通也沒甚麼障礙。若在飯店碰到我們這一群的人,你大概會覺得很吵耳,八個人的飯局可以出現三至於四個的對話,而且聲調亦因為沒法聽清楚對方而不斷提高。溝通技術之強是可以同時間穿梭於一個或以上的話題裡,而且從不混亂話題,快而準。


我相信人與人之間的關係最令人願意投資下去的是一片真。喜歡也好不喜歡也罷,至少別人都可以從中知道,不必猜忌。虛偽的面孔不必在神的家出現。雖然,我的小組不是最「屬靈」的,也未必對神的話最認真的,但他們的強是他們從不假裝屬靈,也不虛偽,更不會裝甚麼也懂,大放大鳴。有時候你以為他們不太在乎很有個性,其實又在另一刻發現他們也蠻投入的。這麼的一群,外表不怎麼好惹的,其實,裡面都很善良。我們的吵是拌和著對彼此的安全感和一點點的武裝,也許神就在我們互磨之間慢慢的把彼此的菱角取去,建立一個更堅強、柔韌基督的身體。

沒有甚麼回饋你們的愛,就希望以此謝過你們。謝謝你們為我慶生,讓我在這個日子收取到更多的愛,而且過得特別熱鬧!

「三日放學」

三月三十日,踏入三十三歲的第一天。

走過一連三天的培靈會,心裡感恩蠻多的。昨天在崇拜的時候,周牧師說我們要怎樣活往後的人生,心裡有一念頭,主耶穌在他三十三歲的一年,把自己完全獻上了,我也要把自己給主。今年決定了再去中國短宣,為主而去,這是主給我的禮物。我深信這份禮物的喜悅將延至永恆。

別人在自己身上花過的心思,當然不會感受不到。早前說過想要買的東西,好友們都為我在生日時送上。知道我喜歡鬱金香的朋友每年都會送,心裡欣喜沒法言語。就算只是相識數月的朋友,你送的禮物,也盡顯你們的細心和體貼。多謝Facebook,一些很久沒有聯繫的朋友,在青蔥歲月一同成長的摯友,收到簡單的留言,越洋的祝福,心裡會心微笑,曾經真誠的關係歲月總沒法沖淡。一眾新朋舊友的祝賀,幾位多年「心照」的好友同慶,你們的愛,收到。

每年都有一篇長篇大論的致謝詞,今年只想簡簡單單從心底的說聲:「謝謝!」

你我的關係已到了非三言兩語的程度,多說也不能盡說你們有多令我感動和感恩。

心中有主,身邊有貼心的家人和朋友,生日快樂!

九二七

九月二十七日是張牧師的生忌,每年這個時候也會悼念著我的屬靈父親。今天清早到Rosehill探望他,心裡很多想跟主耶穌說的話,趁這個機會也作個退修。

經過昨晚一場大雨,秋天的早晨空氣特別清新,四周特別寧靜,心靈也特別平靜。在高處遠眺,能看到更遠更清的視野,雖然看到有黑雲從遠處飄來,心裡卻無懼,因為主耶穌與我一起,衪為我遮風擋風,與我一同乘風破浪。信心就在與主親近的一刻溢滿心間。

突然有一陣嚎哭劃破寧靜的四周。有一個女人對著墳墓跪地痛哭,哭得很悲,很心寒,很歇斯底里。她身邊的一位男士也無法安撫她,這樣持續了十幾分鐘。姑勿論埋葬在地土之下的是誰,她一定很想念他,也遺憾沒有和他一起做的事情,該向他說的話。

人就是沒有可能沒有遺憾,但至少可以沒有那麼多遺憾。

生日快樂

每年生日也是過得熱熱鬧鬧的。是天父給我的恩賜,讓我每年總有一整個月的時間給愛我的人圍繞著。昨天終於吃完了今年生日的慶祝飯局。餐館是我一直想一嘗的Ruth Chris。跳落車走在街上也未知到那裡晚餐,漸漸走近時才驚覺給厚待了,真的受寵若驚。能夠感受到別人在自己身上動過的心思,是一種幸福。


要生日快樂並不太難吧!就是先不要求或奢求被優待,安於神給我所處環境中,懂得享受平淡安逸的生辰,就是沒有太多花巧也能感恩、自在。

In Rememberance of my spiritual father...

Today is Rev. Cheung's birthday. If he is still alive, he is 72 years old. I may not remember what's the headline news yesterday, I may not remember who got the academy award this year, however I can still remember Rev. Cheung's sermon and his impact on me. Rev. Cheung offers my 1st job at church when I finished my 6 months Lay-E committment. From time to time, I will flip through my sermon notebook and review his teaching. His teaching is solid, pierce to heart, rebuking, at the same time brings hope and encouragement. His preaching triggers my appetite to study the bible in depth.
